Prefatory  Note 

The  primary  purpose  in  printing  this  pamphlet  at  this  time 
is  to  secure  a  record  of  facts  that  might  otherwise  be  lost.  The 
pamphlet  is  not  intended  as  a  critical  history  and  an  effort  has 
been  made  to  keep  superfluities  out  of  it. 

In  the  text,  the  titles,  institutions,  and  addresses  of  persons 
mentioned  are  given  only  when  the  names  of  such  persons  are 
not  included  in  the  roll  of  members. 

The  " Bibliographical  Index"  gives  the  periodical  location 
of  additional  information  on  subjects  relating  to  the  Association 
and  to  many  of  the  papers  read  at  its  meetings.  References 
to  periodical  articles  dealing  with  the  life  and  work  of  deceased 
members  are  also  included  in  it. 

No  doubt  in  years  to  come  the  history  of  the  Association 
will  be  written  more  completely.  To  the  end  that  it  may  be 
done  accurately  the  editor  will  welcome  corrections  and  addi- 
tions. W.  F.  S. 


A  Survey 

The  first  circulating  library  in  America  was  established 
in  Philadelphia  in  1731  under  the  leadership  of  Benjamin 
Franklin.  The  organization  was  known  as  the  Library  Company 
of  Philadelphia  and  the  library  was  conducted  on  a  plan  similar 
to  that  of  the  modern  mercantile  library.  The  town  of  Darby 
followed  with  the  organization  of  the  Darby  Library  Company 
in  1742,  and  in  1769,  the  town  of  Chester  organized  the  Library 
Company  of  Chester.  The  library  idea  seems  to  have  become 
popular,  other  communities  falling  in  line,  until  in  1763  nearly 
every  town  in  the  colony  possessed  a  library.  Most  of  these 
early  institutions  have  passed  away,  but  the  first  two  are  still  in 
existence.  Of  the  numerous  other  libraries  organized  before 
1800,  a  number  are  still  operating,  some  as  subscription  and 
some  as  free  libraries. 

The  first  circulating  libraries  were,  as  noted,  subscription 
libraries  or  stock  companies,  but  as  early  as  1742  the  Society 
of  Friends  conducted  a  free  library,  which  was  the  beginning 
of  the  Friends'  Free  Library  of  Philadelphia.  The  Appren- 
tices' Library  of  Philadelphia  was  organized  as  a  free  library 
in  1820;  in  1835  the  Library  Association  of  Friends  was  estab- 
lished, and  in  1852  the  Philadelphia  City  Institute  Library 
came  into  existence. 

The  first  legal  recognition  of  free  libraries  came  in  1864 
with  the  passage  of  a  law  authorizing  school  boards  to  accept 
and  administer  gifts  of  books,  money  or  other  property  for  free 
library  purposes.  Under  this  law,  however,  but  few  libraries, 
and  those  inadequate,  were  organized  before  1895. 

In  1 876  the  first  move  in  the  great  awakening  in  library  af- 
fairs was  made.  In  that  year  a  number  of  the  leading  librarians 
of  the  United  States  met  at  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  So- 
ciety's rooms  and  organized  the  American  Library  Association.

There  were  only-  a  few.  librarians  present  at  that  meeting,  but  at 
that  time  there  were  comparatively  few  librarians.  In  the  whole 
country  there  were  but  about  sixty  free  libraries  that  had  more 
than  12,000  volumes,  and  in  Pennsylvania  there  was  none. 

With  the  establishment  of  the  Osterhout  Free  Library  in 
Wilkes-Barre,  in  1887,  the  modern  free  library  movement  in 
this  state  may  be  said  to  have  really  commenced,  though  the 
earlier  free  libraries  must  not  be  overlooked.  In  1889  the 
libraries  in  Braddock  and  Scranton  were  founded.  The  Free 
Library  of  Philadelphia  was  started  in  1891  and  taken  over 
by  the  city  in  1894.  Following  these  examples,  other  cities 
came  into  line,  until  to-day  there  are  four  hundred  and  twenty- 
six  public  and  society  libraries,  and  two  hundred  and  ninety- 
five  school  libraries ;  a  total  of  seven  hundred  and  twenty-one, 
of  which  one  hundred  and  fifty-two  are  free.  In  this  total 
number  of  libraries  there  are  6,559,600  volumes,  388,000  of 
which  are  in  school  libraries. 

The  stimulus  that  came  to  the  library  movement  through  the 
generosity  of  Andrew  Carnegie  has  been  quite  as  generally 
felt  in  Pennsylvania  as  in  any  other  state.  His  first  gift  of  a 
library  building  in  the  United  States  was  to  Braddock  in  1889. 
Braddock,  Homestead,  Carnegie,  and  Duquesne  possess  the 
only  libraries  endowed  by  Mr  Carnegie.  The  Carnegie  Library 
in  Allegheny  was  founded  in  1890  and  the  Carnegie  Library 
of  Pittsburgh  in  1895.  At  least  a  dozen  other  cities  have 
Carnegie  library  buildings,  and  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh 
are  indebted  to  him  for  their  twenty  or  thirty  branch  buildings. 

With  the  broadening  of  the  free  library  spirit  in  1876  came  a 
demand  for  professional  training.  Among  the  numerous  train- 
ing schools  for  librarians  the  one  at  the  Drexel  Institute,  in 
Philadelphia,  ranked  among  the  foremost.  Few  schools  of  its 
kind  exerted  a  more  generally  recognized  influence  from  the 
year  of  its  organization  in  1892  to  the  year  1914,  when  a 
change  of  policy  in  the  Institute  discontinued  the  school.  The 
apprentice  class  for  children's  librarians  in  the  Carnegie  Li- 
brary of  Pittsburgh  became  so  generally  serviceable  that  in 
1901  it  was  endowed  by  Mr  Carnegie  and  is  now  known  as 

8 


the  Carnegie  Library  School.  It  has  the  distinction  of  being 
the  only  school  of  its  kind. 

In  1899  the  Legislature  made  provision  for  a  Free  Library 
Commission,  to  encourage  the  free  library  movement  and  to 
maintain  a  system  of  traveling  libraries.  The  latter  work  was 
undertaken  first;  the  work  with  free  libraries  not  being  begun 
till  1907  when  it  was  commenced  under  the  direction  of  Helen 
U.  Price,  who  was  succeeded  in  1910  by  Anna  A.  MacDonald. 
The  first  secretary  of  the  Commission,  the  State  Librarian  hold- 
ing that  position  e^-officio,  was  Dr  George  E.  Reed,  1899- 
1904:  he  was  succeeded  by  the  present  secretary,  Thomas  L. 
Montgomery. 

In  1893  the  Pennsylvania  Library  Club  was  organized,  but 
although  it  was  expected  that  the  club  would  become  a  state 
organization,  it  finally  limited  its  influence  to  the  city  of  Phila- 
delphia and  environs. 

The  Western  Pennsylvania  Library  Club  was  organized 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  librarians  west  of  the  Alleghenies,  but 
after  three  years  of  usefulness,  from  1896  to  1898,  it  was  dis- 
continued. 

On  April  5-6,  1897  a  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  Library 
Club  was  held  conjointly  with  the  New  Jersey  Library  Asso- 
ciation at  Atlantic  City.  Out  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-four 
librarians  present  fifty-two  were  from  Pennsylvania.  This 
joint  meeting,  which  has  continued  ever  since,  is  now  generally 
known  as  the  Bi-State  Library  Meeting. 


1901 
Organization 

To  meet  the  needs  of  persons  interested  or  working  in 
libraries  in  Pennsylvania  it  seemed  necessary  that  a  state  as- 
sociation should  be  organized.  The  Western  Pennsylvania  Li- 
brary Club  and  the  Pennsylvania  Library  Club  met  the  needs 
of  libraries  in  the  Pittsburgh  and  Philadelphia  districts  only. 
The  demand  for  an  organization  to  meet  the  needs  of  the 
whole  state  was  set  forth  in  a  circular  sent  to  the  libraries 
throughout  the  state.  The  result  was  a  conference  held  in  the 
Grand  Atlantic  Hotel  at  the  Bi-State  Library  Meeting  at 
Atlantic  City,  March  22-25,  1901.  The  Keystone  State  Li- 
brary Association  was  there  organized  in  the  forenoon  of  Sat- 
urday, March  23.  The  name  was  suggested  by  Isabel  Ely 
Lord,  then  librarian  of  Bryn  Mawr  College. 

The  following  librarians  were  present  on  that  occasion: 
Hannah  P.  James,  Alice  B.  Kroeger,  Dr  Edward  J.  Nolan, 
Sarah  E.  Coding,  Rose  G.  Stewart,  Henry  J.  Carr,  Mrs  Henry 
J.  Carr,  Isabel  Ely  Lord,  Thomas  L.  Montgomery,  John  Thom- 
son, Emma  R.  Neisser,  W.  G.  Forsyth,  Florence  Humphries 
and  Anna  Meehan. 

1901 
Harrisburg 

The  first  annual  meeting  of  the  Keystone  State  Library 
Association  was  held  in  the  State  Library  at  Harrisburg.  The 
meeting  opened  with  a  reception  in  the  State  Library  tendered 
by  the  Pennsylvania  Free  Library  Commission.  The  guests 
were  received  by  Dr  George  E.  Reed,  president  of  the  Associa- 
tion, Mrs  Reed  and  John  Thomson,  president  of  the  Commis- 
sion. 

A  musical  program  was  followed  by  a  supper  served  in  the 
newspaper  room,  where  a  number  of  speeches  were  made.  The 

10 


address  of  the  evening  was  delivered  by  John  Wesley  Hill,  D.  D., 
now  president  of  the  International  Peace  Forum,  New  York.

As  the  receipts  were  not  sufficient  to  pay  all  expenses  an 
appeal  was  made  to  librarians  and  friends  to  aid  the  associa- 
tion financially.  Liberal  responses  came  from  a  number  of 
friends  both  in  and  outside  of  the  Association. 

George  F.  Bowerman  was  responsible  for  a  motion  that  it 
was  the  sense  of  the  Association  that  librarians  should  not  pub- 
lish lists  of  fiction  in  the  local  papers,  as  the  printing  of  such 
lists  gave  additional  advertisement  to  novels  already  over- 
advertised. 

Library  institutes  were  discussed  and  the  Executive  Board 
was  authorized  to  establish  library  institutes  whenever  feasible. 

The  thanks  of  the  Association  were  tendered  to  the  Car- 
negie Library  of  Pittsburgh  for  having  printed  gratuitously 
the  program  and  proceedings  of  the  last  meeting. 

During  the  year,  in  accordance  with  the  missionary  aims  of 
the  Association,  Isabel  Ely  Lord,  on  behalf  of  the  Association, 
addressed  the  State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  at  Titusville 
on  the  subject  of  traveling  libraries,  and  at  the  same  time  so- 
licited their  cooperation  in  securing  a  larger  appropriation 
from  the  state  for  that  work.  The  Federation  passed  a  resolu- 
tion in  favor  of  more  liberal  support  of  the  State  Library  Com- 
mission. 

Mrs  Rudolph  Blankenberg  addressed  the  Association  as  a 
representative  of  the  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs.

The  annual  dues  were  increased  from  $.50  to  $1.00.  A 
trolley  ride  was  provided  by  the  hotel  manager  and  the  Public 
School  Library  was  visited  en  route,  where  an  informal  recep- 
tion was  held. 

Through  the  initiative  of  John  Thomson,  a  committee,  com- 
posed of  Mr  Thomson,  Albert  R.  Durham  and  Mary  Krich- 
baum,  was  appointed  to  induce  librarians  of  traveling  libraries 
to  become  honorary  members  of  the  Keystone  State  Library 
Association,  without  dues.  Later  the  Committee  decided  that  to 
extend  such  invitations  would  be  inadvisable  and  the  matter 
was  dropped. 

The  Executive  Committee  reported  that  it  had  sent  out  a 
questionnaire  to  all  the  libraries  in  the  state  for  the  purpose  of 
securing  material  for  a  handbook  of  Pennsylvania  libraries 
and  that  about  two  hundred  libraries  had  replied.  The  Com- 
mittee was  ordered  continued. 

John  Thomson,  William  M.  Stevenson  and  A.  R.  Durham 
were  appointed  a  committee  to  obtain  the  assistance  of  twenty 
smaller  libraries  or  branch  libraries  in  testing  a  proposed  scheme 
of  differentiation  of  fiction  according  to  the  decimal  system  of 
classification.

The  Secretary  reported  that  material  for  a  "Tentative  List" 
of  libraries  in  the  state  had  been  collected.  It  was  ordered 
printed  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Library,  Joseph  G. 
Rosengarten  contributing  the  $50  it  was  estimated  to  cost.  The 
list  when  printed  made  a  pamphlet  of  forty  or  fifty  pages. 

The  report  on  institutes  was  presented  by  Robert  P.  Bliss, 
who  said  that  the  first  institute  of  the  year  was  held  at  the 
Drexel  Institute  in  Philadelphia,  where  the  representation  from 
small  libraries  in  the  vicinity  of  the  city  had  been  very  encour- 
aging. The  next  institute  was  held  at  the  California  State 
Normal  School,  where  the  attendance  consisted  largely  of  stu- 
dents. This  program  was  conducted  by  Elisa  M.  Willard,  of 
the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh,  and  Anna  M.  Shutterly, 
librarian  of  the  Normal  School.  Fully  ninety  students  at- 
tended the  sessions,  and  as  the  institute  was  not  made  a  part 
of  the  school  work,  the  attendance  indicated  genuine  interest. 

Mr  Bliss  added  that  meetings  held  by  the  several  district 
library  clubs  and  associations  tended  to  diminish  the  necessity 
for  institutes ;  and  also  that  while  the  association  meetings  paid 
for  themselves  the  institutes  involved  considerable  expense. 


The  future  of  institute  work  was  left  in  the  hands  of  the 
Executive  Committee  but  owing  to  the  conditions  pointed  out 
by  Mr  Bliss  comparatively  few  have  been  held. 

In  Thomas  L.  Montgomery's  remarks  on  traveling  libraries 
he  said,  speaking  of  the  Pennsylvania  Free  Library  Commis- 
sion, "The  history  of  the  Commission  is  rather  a  remarkable 
one.  In  1899  Mr  Thomson  and  myself  prepared  a  bill  which 
we  handed  to  Senator  Christopher  Magee  for  submission  to 
the  Legislature  requesting  authority  to  form  a  State  Library 
Commission.  The  bill  was  put  nineteenth  on  the  list  and  when 
it  finally  came  up  for  consideration  it  was  passed  as  No.  68. 
The  aid  rendered  by  Clinton  Rodgers  Woodruff  during  the 
final  stages  of  its  passage  through  the  Legislature  was  in- 
valuable. The  bill  did  not  carry  with  it  an  appropriation 
and  the  work  of  the  Commission  was  conducted  for  two 
years  with  a  small  fund  obtained  from  sources  other  than  those 
of  the  state.  In  1891,  the  Legislature  appropriated  $3,000 
for  this  work.  At  the  last  session  $12,000  was  granted  for 
the  work  of  the  Commission  for  a  period  of  two  years.  With 
the  funds  at  hand  we  have  been  able  to  send  out  only  one  hun- 
dred traveling  libraries  to  one  hundred  and  five  places.  The 
secretaries  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations  in  the 
coal  regions  have  aided  us  in  getting  the  libraries  used.  What  is 
needed  is  an  agent  to  follow  up  the  libraries,  with  advice  and 
directions  that  will  make  them  of  most  service." 

The  Committee  on  Differentiation  of  Fiction  reported  that 
at  its  request  O.  R.  Howard  Thomson  had  read,  classified  and 
catalogued  the  collection  of  fiction  at  the  Wagner  Institute 
Branch  of  the  Free  Library  of  Philadelphia,  which  collection 
consisted  of  between  4,000  and  5,000  volumes.  The  Free  Li- 
brary of  Philadelphia  had  had  printed  in  dictionary  form  the 
catalogue  prepared  by  Mr  Thomson ;  each  book  being  entered 
under  author,  title  and  subject.  The  chief  descriptive  notes 
appeared  under  the  author  entries  but  short  characterizations 
were  also  given  under  the  subject  headings.  An  index  to  some 
2,000  historical  characters  mentioned  in  the  novels  catalogued 
was  added  later,  the  copy  presented  to  the  meeting  being 

14 


"proof -unread."  The  Committee  reported  that  with  this  cata- 
logue it  would  be  possible  to  put  to  an  actual  test  the  value  of 
the  idea  of  classifying  fiction. 

The  Committee  was  discharged  and  then  reappointed, 
Frances  J.  Olcott,  Edith  Ridgway  and  Myra  Poland  being 
added  to  it.  When  printed  finally  the  book  consisted  of  viii+ 
308  pages  and  a  second  edition  was  called  for  in  1904. 

The  sessions  of  this  meeting  were  held  in  the  lecture  room  of 
the  College  Church.  The  meeting  closed  with  a  few  appropriate 
remarks  by  Mr  Montgomery,  the  incoming  president,  and  a 
vote  of  thanks  to  Miss  Lord,  the  outgoing  president,  for  a  gavel 
presented  by  her  to  the  Association.

Robert  P.  Bliss,  secretary-treasurer,  spoke  of  the  effort  he 
had  made  to  secure  new  members  and  to  arouse  the  interest  of 
old  members.  He  reported  that  about  eight  hundred  circulars 
had  been  sent  to  library  trustees,  calling  attention  to  the  value 
of  the  work  being  done  by  the  Association  and  urging  them  to 
support  it.  In  many  instances  members  were  •  sent  by  their 
library — a  wholesome  indication.

A  special  car  was  provided  for  a  trip  to  the  Wyoming  Valley 
Country  Club,  where  Miss  Jessie  Welles  conducted  the  round 
table  on  "The  library's  direct  relation  to  the  reading  public." 

The  visiting  librarians  were  entertained  at  a  reception  given 
in  the  Club  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Osterhout  Library. 
A  luncheon  was  also  served  in  their  honor. 

On  Saturday  morning  after  inspecting  the  buildings  of 
the  Osterhout  Free  Library  and  the  Wyoming  Historical  and 
Geological  Society  Library,  the  librarians  met  in  the  reference 
room  of  the  Osterhout  Free  Library.  An  amendment  to  the 
constitution  providing  for  a  change  from  a  secretary-treasurer 
to  a  secretary  and  a  treasurer  was  presented  at  this  meeting  to 
be  voted  on  at  the  next  annual  meeting. 

On  Saturday  afternoon  the  librarians  were  taken  over  the 
Laurel  Electric  Line  to  Scranton,  where  they  enjoyed  a  visit  to 
the  Public  Library  and  the  International  Correspondence 
Schools.  The  few  librarians  who  did  not  take  the  trip  to  Scran- 
ton  held  an  informal  social  hour  in  the  reference  room  of  the 
library.

The  amendment  to  the  Constitution,  proposed  at  the  previ- 
ous annual  meeting  of  the  Association,  to  change  Article  IV, 
Section  i ,  was  adopted  as  follows : 

The  officers  of  the  Association  shall  be  a  President,  a  Vice-presi- 
dent, a  Secretary,  and  a  Treasurer  to  be  elected  by  ballot  at  the  annual 
meeting. 

The  discussion  of  inter-library  loans  created  such  interest 
that  a  committee  was  appointed  to  encourage  this  kind  of 
library  service.  Charles  E.  Wright,  Florence  A.  Watts, 
Marian  S.  Skeele,  Mrs  Jean  A.  Hard  and  Elmira  W.  Penny- 
packer  comprised  the  committee.  The  customary  "free  after- 

20 


noon"  was  occupied  by  the  librarians  in  visiting  branch  libraries, 
the  Homestead  Steel  Works  and  the  Carnegie  Library  of 
Homestead.  An  informal  reception  was  held  on  Friday  evening 
before  the  general  session  and  a  collation  was  served  in  the  ban- 
quet hall  after  the  session. 

In  recognition  of  his  services  and  of  the  affection  borne  to 
him  by  the  members  of  the  Association,  John  Thomson  was 
elected  honorary  president  of  the  Association  for  life. 

The  Association  placed  on  record  its  appreciation  of  the 
service  that  Frances  Jenkins  Olcott  and  her  staff  rendered  to 
the  State  of  Pennsylvania  by  their  careful  study  of  work  with 
children  in  the  Training  School  for  Childrens  Librarians  and 
through  the  printing  of  suggestive  and  annotated  lists.  The 
students  of  the  Training  School  attended  the  meeting  in  a 
body.

1910 
Delaware  Water  Gap 

The  Educational  Section,  organized  at  this  meeting,  was  the 
outgrowth  of  a  need  for  organization  of  school  and  college 
libraries.  President  Henry  F.  Marx  suggested  that  a  com- 
mittee be  appointed  to  carry  out  this  idea.  Maurice  A.  Filson, 
of  Lafayette  College,  Dr  E.  W.  Runkle,  of  State  College,  Frank 
G.  Lewis,  of  Crozer  Theological  Seminary  Library,  Mary  E. 
Reutter,  State  Library,  Ella  Ritchie,  Bloomsburg  State  Nor- 
mal, and  Julia  C.  Gray,  State  College,  all  spoke  in  favor  of  the 
plan.  A  committee,  composed  of  Maurice  A.  Filson,  E.  W. 
Runkle,  and  Mary  E.  Reutter,  was  appointed  and  recom- 
mended : 

1.  That  an  Educational  Section  be  organized  by  the  Association. 

2.  That  such  section  be   composed  of  the  libraries   of  colleges, 
normal  schools,  high  schools,  library  training  schools,  etc. 

3.  That  at  least  one  session  of  each  annual  meeting  be  set  aside 
for  discussion  of  special  problems  of  this  class  of  libraries. 

4.  That  one  member  of  this  section,  to  be  appointed  by  the  sec- 
tion, be  a  member  of  the  Executive  or  Program  Committee  and  that 
Maurice  A.  Filson  be  appointed  for  1911. 

A  trolley  ride  to  Stroudsburg  was  announced  and  parti- 
cipated in  by  a  number  of  the  librarians. 

O.  R.  Howard  Thomson  offered  the  following  resolution : 
To  amend  Section  III  of  the  Constitution  to  read: 

Any  library,  historical  association  or  similar  organization  or  any 
person  interested  in  library  work  may  become  a  member  upon  pay- 
ment of  the  annual  dues. 

To  amend  Section  VI. 

a.  Annual   dues   of  libraries,   historical   associations   and   similar 
organizations  shall  be  two  dollars  a  year,  and  of  individuals  one  dollar 
a  year  in  advance. 

b.  The  fiscal  year  of  the  Association  shall  begin  November  i. 

Both  amendments  were  adopted. 

A  special  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  was  held  to 
consider  membership  dues.  The  Treasurer  was  authorized  to 
send  a  circular  letter  and  short  personal  appeal  to  the  college, 

22 


society  and  public  librarians  of  the  state  with  the  purpose  of 
arousing  interest  in  the  Association.  Subsequent  to  this  meet- 
ing the  following  by-laws  was  proposed  to  the  Association  and 
adopted  by  it : 

Members  becoming  three  (3)  years  in  arrears  for  dues  shall  be 
notified  by  the  Treasurer  that  if  they  fail  to  make  remittance  in  30 
days  they  will  be  dropped  from  the  roll  of  membership;  and  if  after 
such  notice  they  fail  to  remit  the  Secretary  shall  then  strike  their 
names  from  the  roll  of  membership. 

Mr  Bliss  called  attention  to  the  codification  of  the  school 
law;  and  to  certain  provisions  in  the  law  relating  to  public 
libraries  which  he  pointed  out  were  in  effect  as  follows : 

1.  They  are  to  be  called  school  libraries. 

2.  They  are  to  be  under  immediate  control  of  the  school  board; 
or,  if  the  school  board  desires,  it  may  appoint  a  board  of  trustees,  the 
school  board  retaining  the  power  to  pass  on  all  important  matters. 

3.  Two  of  the  trustees  must  be  women. 

The  fact  that  these  provisions  were  considered  unsatisfac- 
tory by  the  majority  of  librarians  was  largely  responsible  for 
the  appointment  by  the  Association  of  a  Legislative  Committee 
to  cooperate  with  the  Free  Library  Commission  in  codifying 
the  library  laws.

In  the  absence  of  the  Secretary,  Florence  A.  Watts  was  ap- 
pointed secretary  pro  tern. 

A  communication  from  the  committee  of  the  American  Li- 
brary Association  on  cooperation  between  the  American  Library 
Association  and  state  associations  was  referred  to  Charles  E. 
Wright,  O.  R.  Howard  Thomson  and  Mary  C.  Weiss.  This 
committee  reported  in  favor  of  affiliation,  with  the  understand- 
ing that  the  cost  of  membership  be  $5  per  hundred  members 
and  that  the  state  association  be  given  representation  on  the 
American  Library  Association  Council. 

A  Publication  Committee  composed  of  John  Thomson, 
Charles  E.  Wright  and  Anna  A.  MacDonald  was  created  to 
publish  a  bulletin  ("Occasional  Papers")  containing  library 
items  of  state  wide  interest.

Prof.  O.  H.  Bakeless  was  in  charge  of  the  Educational 
Section.  He  reported  that  he  had  sent  thirteen  cards  to  normal 
school  librarians  containing  the  following  resolution : 

Resolved:  That  the  Board  of  Principals  of  the  State  Normal 
Schools  of  Pennsylvania  be  asked  at  their  next  meeting  to  provide  a 
place  upon  the  schedule  of  each  school  for  a  brief  course  in  Library 
Economy  (use  of  reference  works,  childrens'  reading,  etc.),  the  same 
to  be  planned  by  the  local  librarian  and  conducted  by  her  as  early  in 
the  student's  normal  school  life  as  possible.  That  the  time  devoted  to 
this  work  be  not  less  than  forty  hours,  the  various  departments  work- 
ing together  to  make  the  time  and  the  work  possible. 

Authority  was  given  the  Executive  Committee  to  pay,  at 
its  discretion,  the  expenses  incurred  by  its  members  in  attend- 
ing special  meetings  of  the  Committee;  but  it  was  understood 
that  the  Executive  Committee  would  not  authorize  such  ex- 
penditures unless  matters  of  grave  importance  to  the  Associa- 

25 


tion  made  it  necessary  that  all  members  of  the  Committee  be 
present  at  such  special  meetings.

The  Publication  Committee  made  a  brief  statement  to  the 
effect  that  no  manuscript  had  been  accepted  for  publication. 
The  Committee  was  discharged  and  authority  given  to  the 
Executive  Committee  to  print  "occasional  publications"  when 
and  if  they  deemed  it  wise ;  such  publications  not  to  cost  more 
than  50  per  cent,  of  the  balance  to  the  credit  of  the  Association 
at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  preceding  their  issuance. 

A  committee  composed  of  O.  R.  Howard  Thomson,  Myra 
Poland  and  Henry  J.  Carr  was  appointed  to  take  up  with  the 
publishers  of  the  "Readers'  Guide"  the  addition  of  certain  peri- 
odicals to  those  indexed  in  that  magazine. 

A  roll  call  of  librarians  was  conducted,  the  representative 
of  each  institution  responding  being  requested  to  give  a  brief 
account  of  the  most  interesting  thing  that  had  occurred  in  the 
library  he  represented  during  the  previous  year;  thirty-nine 
librarians  answered  to  the  call. 

The  President  appointed  as  a  Committee  on  Legislation : 
H.  S.  Ehrhart,  Hanover ;  Henry  F.  Marx,  Easton,  and  Wesley 
K.  Woodbury,  Pottsville.

The  Committee  on  Legislation  reported  it  had  made  a  com- 
plete investigation  of  the  present  library  law  of  the  state  and 
that  after  several  meetings  had  been  held  with  the  State  Library 
Commission,  the  consensus  of  opinion  was  that  the  present 
law  was  inadequate.  It  recommended  that  House  Bill  No.  689 
as  submitted  to  the  Pennsylvania  Legislature  at  the  session  of 
1913  be  presented  to  the  next  Legislature  and  its  passage  urged. 
The  Committee  was  continued. 

At  a  special  meeting,  the  Executive  Committee,  in  recogni- 
tion of  the  work  achieved  by  Dr  Horace  E.  Hayden,  corre- 
sponding secretary  and  librarian  of  the  Wyoming  Historical 
and  Geological  Society  of  Wilkes-Barre,  elected  him  an  honor- 
ary member  of  the  Association  for  life. 

The  Committee  on  Periodical  Indexing  reported  that  it 
had  requested  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Company  to  include  in  its 
"Readers'  Guide"  four  typical  English  periodicals,  namely: 

28 


'The  Spectator,"  The  Saturday  Review,"  'The  Academy" 
and  "The  Athenaeum."  It  further  reported  that  the  Wilson 
Company  had  sent  out  questionnaires  to  libraries  in  other  states, 
and  as  a  result  of  answers  received  to  such  questionnaires,  had 
notified  the  committee  that  it  hoped  to  include  a  number  of  new 
magazines  in  the  "Readers'  Guide  Supplement"  shortly,  and 
that  one  of  them  would  be  "The  Spectator." 

With  a  view  to  making  the  "Readers'  Guide"  an  index  to 
continental,  rather  than  to  English  and  American  opinion  only, 
the  Committee  suggested  that  it  be  continued  and  instructed  by 
the  Association  to  urge  upon  the  Wilson  Company  the  desira- 
bility of  including,  before  any  others,  the  "Revue  des  Deux 
Mondes"  and  the  "Deutsche  Rundschau."  The  Committee  was 
continued  and  instructed  to  concentrate  its  efforts  on  the  inclu- 
sion of  the  periodicals  suggested  by  it. 

The  Executive  Committee  also  recommended  that  a  history 
of  the  Keystone  State  Library  Association  be  printed  within 
the  next  year,  the  publication  to  be  carried  on  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  coming  year.

1915 
Butler 

This  meeting  was  advertised  by  sending  a  series  of  Butler 
post  cards  to  members  and  those  interested;  and  the  coming 
of  the  Association  was  heralded  in  Butler  by  the  local  entertain- 
ment committee  which  provided  material  for  the  newspapers, 
made  the  hotel  arrangements,  provided  the  meeting  places,  and 
furnished  the  refreshments  for  the  reception  given  at  the 
opening  session. 

The  following  representative  citizens  served  on  this  com- 
mittee :  D.  Brandon,  President,  Library  Advisory  Board ;  J.  O. 
Campbell,  President,  University  Club;  Col.  W.  T.  Mechling, 
President,  School  Board;  Gertrude  MacKinney,  Secretary,  Li- 
brary Board;  Loretta  Murrun,  Secretary,  Congress  of  Wo- 
men's Clubs,  and  Clara  B.  Mcjunkin,  Librarian,  Butler  Public 
Library. 

Special  efforts  were  made  to  "have  everybody  know  every- 
body" and  this  phrase  became  the  shibboleth  of  the  Social  Com- 
mittee, of  which  Susan  L.  Sherman  was  chairman.  A  game, 
"The  elusive  librarian,"  invented  for  the  occasion,  did  much 
to  bring  about  the  desired  result. 

Among  the  interesting  places  visited  by  the  librarians  on 
Friday  afternoon  were: — State  Police  Barracks,  Thorn  Hill 
School  or  the  Allegheny  County  Juvenile  Court  Farm,  Country 
Club,  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  the  Nixon  Farm 
and  the  public  schools. 

In  the  schools  the  following  librarians  told  stories :  Edith 
Patterson,  Helen  Langfitt,  Elizabeth  Wallace,  Edna  A.  White- 
man,  Freda  Halpert,  Inez  Crandle  and  Mrs  Bell  Kreutzpoint- 
ner.  This  work  took  at  least  one  phase  of  the  meeting  into  the 
homes  of  Butler  and  its  value  may  be  better  appreciated  when 
it  is  known  that  as  one  of  the  results  of  this  meeting  the  people 
of  Butler  may  be  inspired  to  secure  a  new  library  building. 

The  Committee  on  Periodical  Indexing  reported  that  both 
the  "Deutsche  Rundschau"  and  the  "Revue  des  Deux  Mondes" 
had  refused  to  contribute  copies  of  their  magazines  for  index 

30 


purposes  to  the  Wilson  Co.  The  Committee  was  continued. 
Since  the  meeting  satisfactory  adjustments  of  all  differences 
have  been  effected  and  from  the  first  of  January  1916  both 
the  German  and  French  magazines  just  mentioned,  as  well 
as  the  English  "Spectator"  will  be  included  in  the  "Readers' 
Guide  Supplement." 

The  Committee  on  Library  Legislation  reported  that  it  had 
had  several  meetings  with  the  representatives  of  the  State 
Library  Commission,  and  also  a  meeting  with  the  State  Com- 
mittee of  Education :  that  as  the  way  seemed  to  be  clear  for  the 
passage  of  a  General  Library  Law,  which  should  not  interfere 
with  the  school  code,  such  a  bill  was  prepared  and  actually 
passed  by  the  Legislature,  only  to  meet  with  the  veto  of  the 
Governor. 

The  Committee  recommended  that  the  Association  should 
not  cease  its  agitation  for  a  general  library  law  to  take  the 
place  of  the  acts  of  assembly  which  the  school  code  under- 
took to  repeal,  and  suggested  the  appointment  of  a  new  com- 
mittee to  act  in  conjunction  with  the  State  Library  Commission 
with  the  view  of  presenting  an  act  to  the  next  Legislature 
that  will  meet  the  objections  raised  by  the  Governor's  veto. 
The  Committee  was  reappointed  as  follows:  H.  S.  Ehrhart, 
Wesley  K.  Woodbury,  Henry  F.  Marx. 

The  Executive  Committee  reported  that  the  History  of  the 
Keystone  State  Library  Association  was  in  the  hands  of  the 
printer  and  that  the  material  would  make  a  pamphlet  of  sixty 
pages. 

The  sessions  of  the  Association  were  held  in  the  Masonic 
Temple  and  High  School  auditorium. 

Among  the  members  who  were  absent  and  sent  regrets 
were:  Henry  J.  Carr,  Frank  G.  Lewis,  Mrs  Mabel  Champlin 
Wolcott,  H.  S.  Ehrhart,  Thomas  L.  Montgomery,  absent  for 
the  first  time,  and  John  Thomson  who  telegraphed  from  his 
bed  of  sickness :  "Accept  hearty  good  greetings  and  best  wishes 
for  my  friends  and  good  comrades  of  the  Keystone  State  Li- 
brary Association."  The  following  committee  sent  an  appro- 
priate reply  in  a  "night  letter"  to  Dr  Thomson :  Harrison  W. 
Craver,  Robert  P.  Bliss,  and  Mary  True. 

31 


Miss  Anna  M.  Shutterly  reported  that  work  of  the  Normal 
Training  Committee  had  resulted  in  a  more  intelligent  use  of 
libraries  among  the  students  in  several  of  the  State  Normal 
Schools:  California,  Slippery  Rock,  Millersville,  and  Edin- 
boro ;  that  in  some  cases  definite  courses  of  study  had  been  in- 
stituted, and  that  it  was  the  desire  of  the  Committee  that  libra- 
rians should  do  similar  work  in  their  respective  high  schools. 

Because  of  the  absence  of  the  Secretary,  Miss  Helen  Subers 
of  Ashbourne  was  appointed  secretary  pro  tern.
